Must be nice. Scheduling won't leave me alone. Over guarantee again, & everyday we are under coverage. Long call reserve does not exist on the 320. It's either SC or flying/deadheading. A LOT of deadheading.

Hey look on the bright side, when I was a new-hire the 88 was getting used on rsv just like you are and the 7ER guys were sitting around. (but then the 7ER was just intl). Now the 88 guys don't fly and the 7ER guys are flying all the time and the summer is not even here. My point is this will flip back just who knows when. I took 3 years last time, so maybe your 320 will come around but by then you should hold a line, but it is always nice to bid a 70hrs paycheck and fly maybe fly 1 trip if you lucky a get the weekends off.

You can go to ALV or max reserve +15 on a yellow slip. After that any pickup would have to be on a GS.
If you hit ALV/Max Reserve you are done if you do not have a yellow in.
In either case call Scheduling and have them show you full for the month. You are done if you are within two hrs of ALV
Boeing wining that contract means that the 764 line will remain open and they may want to give a few "deal" on some jets.....

I read it - but eh. I mean, it changes the formula some, but in my category, we're very understaffed. Next month, some of the days are 16 req'd, 4 available. Most days are about 14 req'd, 7-8 available. A change in the formula isn't going to fix that, by much I think.
I looked the other day at, out of the 7 ERB categories, 5 of them had no days where they were above required reserves. Two (SEA I think) had about 20% of the days above, while NYC had about half above. We just need more pilots.
How's 'bout the other categories?
